THE GERMAN QUESTION.
Comments OF the Press In Germany
on the Situation.

BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-The election of the
new reichstag will occur Feb. 81. 1t is
already engaging the attention of the
people, and the possible change in the
complexion of the new body is the gen
eral topic for discussion Each of the
parties or sections is confident of main
tanning its strength, while some of them
predict increased representation. Ger
tainly the contest will be unequalled in
point of fierceness in the history of Ger
man elections. 1t is expected that the
emperor will inaugurate the campaign
by issuing decree reciting the merits Of
the governments demands and the dis
pute in the reichstag arising out of
them.
The National Gazette, commenting on
Herr Won Staugenberg's amendment re-
stricting the operation of the bill to
three wears. SAYS: TT is an unseemly
farce that SO members, who should have
opposed the amendment, either abstain
ed, or for tactical reasons, voted with
the majority. Had they voted with the
party the amendment would have been
rejected. The great question now is to
avoid a constitutional conflict endanger-
ing the empire.
Inc Nosslcne Leltung says tnat tne us
solution of the reichstag by the govern
ment had long been decided upon in case
Of the defeat of the bill. 1t regrets that
the bill was made the subject of an
election struggle, and concludes as fol-
lows: THE right of the reichstag to
participate in legislation is at stake, and
not the defensive capacity of the empire,
nor the effectiveness of the German
army"
The Tagblatt says: ''The dissolution
of the reichstag was,a foregone conclu-
sion. Germans bled for the foundation
of the empire, and they should have a
voice in completing the edifice"

BISMARCK AGAIN.
The Chancellor Makes Another speech
in the German EeIchstag,

BERLIN, Jan. 14.-Debate On the army
bill was resumed in the Reichstag yester-
day. Bismarck again spoke. He said
he regretted he had been prevented from
listening to Richter's speech denying
that the German Liberal press attacked
the Chancellor's Bulgarian policy. Ger
many interviewed in Bulgaria, Bismarck
said, solely to prevent the execution of
the conspirators who were implicated in
the plot against Alexander, so that the
maintenance of peace might be unim-
peded.
Bismarck, as an instance of the insta-
bility of press opinion, quoted from the
Volks Zeitung and Germania, and con.
tinued: The papers even ask us to use
our soldiers to bar Russia's road to Con-
stantinople. when this would perhaps be
in Englands interests. But we have a
different task, to maintain peace and act
permanently as moderator between the
two powers, both our friends. Had |
acted in 1857, at the epoch of the Luxen-
berg question, not as moderator, but
in a manner in which | have been asked
to do now. | should not have had to meet
one bloody war alone, but many. In
years t. come if Russia attacks us then
we must and will defend ourselves to the
last drop of blood AS matters stand,
Russia has no cause to attack us nor
have we any cause to attack Russia.
In reference to Germanias statement
that France will be willing to make an
alliance with Germany against Russia,
Prince Bismarck says: This shows how
misinfOrmed these politicians are. Eng
land might sooner quarrel with Russia
than we. We have such long Russian
frontier, while England would have
nothing serious to fear. We have no
interest whatever in the conquest of
Russian territory, and of Polish provinces
we have more than are necessary.

A Story of Charles Francis Adams.

The late Charles Francis Adams was proud
of the fact that he was the son and grandson
of president He thought, however, that he
had soIae of the elements Of greatness in him
apart from his ancestors, and am told that
he grew very tired OF being introduced as the
grandson of John Adams and the son of the
great John Quincy Adams. He expressed
this feeling at political meeting at which he
once spoke in connection with Hannibal Ham
lin and other prominent men. Mr.. Adams
was the last speaker. The others referred to
him In their speeches, and nearly every one
dilated on the fact that they had with them
that day the son and grandson Of president.
When at last Charles Francis Adams was in
troduced, the chairman of the meeting said:
81 am very glad that can introduce TO you
to-day the grandson Of President John Adams,
and the son of the great John Quincy AID
ans" Charles Francis Adams opened his
speech by SAYING: 'Thc fact OF my ancestry
has been referred to several times during the
evening. i am proud Of nv father and grand
father, but wish 1t distinctly understood that
appear before you as myself aud not as the
son and grandson OF any man." He then went
on and made one of the most powerful
speeches of the day.-Cor. Cleveland Leader.
